“Trapped mainly by wanting things to be exactly as they are, only better”

“He’s exactly what she wants. He’s the last thing she needs.”

“And if you can find any way out of our culture, then that's a trap too. Just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap.”

“Only yesterday a young woman came to me wanting a trap set for a man with a sweet smile and lithe arms. She was a fool, not for wanting him, but for wanting more of him than that.”

“A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.”

“This is exactly what i wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.”

“Well I won't argue about the matter. You always want to argue about things.
That is exactly what things were originally made for.”

“If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.”

“I now know that if you describe things as better as they are, you are considered to be romantic; if you describe things as worse than they are, you are called a realist; and if you describe things exactly as they are, you are called a satirist.”

“You never escape the traps you spin yourself. Only a greater power can break a power, and then you're trapped again. Trapped forever so you cannot die.”
